# WELCOME
Thank you for selecting the OGCare BGMS (Blood Glucose
Monitoring System). Follow steps for using the system in this
manual. Before using your monitoring system for the first time,
please read this manual carefully.
# INTENDED USE
This OGCare Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for the
quantitative measurement of the concentration of glucose
in whole blood from fingertip, palm and forearm by diabetic
patients or healthcare professionals as an aid in the
management of diabetes. It is intended for use outside of
the body (in vitro diagnostic use) and not for diagnosis of or
screening for diabetes, nor for use on neonates or arterial blood.
The alternative site testing (palm and forearm)
in this system can only be used during steady-state blood
glucose conditions.

# APPLICATION
OGCare Test Strips are for in vitro diagnostic use only.
The OGCare Meter is not a substitute for your healthcare professional.
Use the OGCare Meter in conjunction with your healthcare program.
# TEST PRINCIPLE
Glucose in the blood sample reacts with glucose oxidase (GOD) on the test strip
and a harmless DC electrical current is produced. This current is measured by
the OGCare Meter and displayed as your blood glucose result. The strength of
these currents changes with the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
The OGCare Meter automatically interprets this reaction.
Blood glucose results from test strips that are plasma-referenced are
approximately 11% higher than those obtained with whole-blood referenced test
strips.
# SPECIAL FEATURES
The OGCare system applies the auto coding system.
Store up to 300 test results. Your meter was set at the factory to the unit
used in your country.

# USAGE AND STORAGE
• Before using your monitoring system, please place it in the environment of
system’s normal operating temperature ranging 10-40°C (50-104°F ) for about
20 minutes.
• Don’t allow dust and foreign bodies into test strip slot in order to avoid
affecting the system’s accuracy.
• Don’t decompose, demolish, repair or transform the system at any time.
• Don’t put the system near any electromagnetic field. (e.g. TV, microwave
oven, mobile phone)
• Don’t allow the monitoring system to collide with others during usage.
• Keep away from direct sunlight and humid environment for long time.
• Please use a soft cotton cloth to wipe the system.
• Don’t use a corrosive product (e.g. Benzene, Acetone) to wipe the monitoring system.

• Keep the test strip vial tightly closed at all times.
• Take test strips out with clean, dry hands for accurate results.
• Do not use test strips beyond the expiration date printed on the package since
they may cause inaccurate results.
• Never reuse a test strip that has had either blood or control solution applied to it.
The OGCareTest Strip is for one time use only.
• Before the test you must make sure that the code number on the meter is
identical with the one on the test strip vial.
• Be sure to check the glucose measurement unit on the meter before the test.
• Store in capped vial in a cool and dry environment between 5-30°C (41-86°F).
• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not refrigerate.
CAUTION:
OGCare Meter is for use only with OGCare Strips

# SAFETY INFORMATION
• Before using the system, please read this manual carefully.
• The meter and test strips should be handled at same temperature.
• For accurate results, keep the OGCare blood glucose monitoring system at test
place under the operating temperature 10-40°C (50-104°F ) for more than 20
minutes before testing.
• The OGCare Blood Glucose Monitoring System shows accurate results
between 10-40°C (50-104°F).
Do not store the meter, test strips, lancing device and lancet in a place where
the children can reach easily.
• Please disinfect instruments and parts for blood collection.
• Do not reuse the test strips.
• The used test strips and lancets should be handled carefully.
• The OGCare Blood Glucose Monitoring System is for testing outside
of the body (in vitro diagnostic use). Safety Information.

#HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION
Healthcare professionals performing blood
glucose tests with this system on multiple
patients must always wear gloves and should
follow the infection control policies and
procedures approved by their facility.
• When using the OGCare meter follow always the recognized procedures for
handling objects that are potentially contaminated with human material.
• Practice the health and safety policy of your laboratory or institution.
• A drop of blood is required to perform a blood glucose test.
• Only capillary blood can be used.
• Avoid air bubbles when using pipettes.
• Refrigerated samples should be brought to room temperature slowly before
testing.

# PERFORMING A BLOOD GLUCOSE TEST
1. Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it.
2. Insert the lancet into the lancet holder and push down firmly until it is fully
seated. Do not twist the lancet.
3. Twist the protective disk until it separates from the lancet.
Replace the lancing device cap. Turn it clockwise until it is snug.

4. Insert a test strip to turn on the meter. Push it all the way in until it will go no
further. Avoid bending the test strip.
5.The meter identifies the code number automatically. Compare the code number
display with the code number on the test strip vial. If they do not match try again
with an another test strip. If the problem happens with another test strip, please
contact to Customer Service.
6. When the blood symbol appears, the meter is ready for testing.

7. Select the puncture depth if necessary with the lancing device cap. Activate
the lancing device by pulling back the barrel until it clicks. If it does not click, the
lancing device may have been activated when the lancet was inserted.
8. Hold the lancing device firmly against your finger. Press the release button.
9. Gently squeeze your finger to assist the flow of blood.
Do not squeeze excessively on the puncture site.

10. Put blood on top of the test strip. When you hear the beep sound, you have
enough blood in the test strip. After five seconds, the test result will appear.
NOTICE:
When the blood sample is not sufficient, the display will show the message of
‘Er 4’.(Please refer to error messages in this manual.)
